We have lists of qualified and experienced caterers, florists, and other vendors who know Montpelier and can fulfill your every creative desire to make your wedding uniquely your own.

The Montpelier Wedding $10,000

Choose The Montpelier Wedding and exchange vows at the intimate, contemplative Temple designed and built by James Madison in the shadow of the Blue Ridge. Then, stroll across the picturesque mansion front yard to the William duPont Gallery for a festive reception in the luxurious Grand Salon. On the way, stop for wedding photographs on the steps of the historic Montpelier mansion.

In the terraced, brick-walled Annie duPont Formal Garden, you will be surrounded by colorful peonies, Japanese irises, and fragrant herbs as you make your entrance through the filigree wrought iron gates on the stately brick gateway.

At the duPont Gallery, enjoy cocktails in the Gallery and famous reinstalled Red Room among the treasures of a bygone era. Retire to the Grand Salon for a sit-down repast beneath the duPont's gold-leafed chandelier, and then dance in the Cafe with its magnificent view of the mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows.
